Hello,

I have a database that is on my company's network that everyone needs
to be able to see, but I only want certain people to change any data
in the database. Is there a way (like there is in Excel, why can't
Microsoft make products of the same family have the same advanced
functions) to set an option so that the database opens in read-only
mode unless a specific password is entered?

Thanks,

It's because they are adopted.
